SAD! Touré not extremely proud to be an American right now, seeks reinforcement

As Twitchy reported Monday, a new Gallup poll shows that a record low number of Americans consider themselves “extremely proud” to be Americans, although the gap between political parties was substantial. Only 32 percent of Democrats would call themselves “extremely proud” to be Americans as opposed to 74 percent of Republicans.

Count former MSNBC host Touré among those who are helping bring that number down to a record low:

Gallup: A record-low 47% of Americans are extremely proud to be Americans. I get it. I’m not extremely proud to be an American right now. Are you?

Very much so. Spend enough time in the non-western world among the non-elite and you would be too. Whoever is in the White House is NOT the whole country and if you think it is, then it's YOU that has the problem.

I love my country! Regardless of which political party has the majority. My life changes by my effort! Not these jackasses making policies! Our system may have flaws, but it's the best one going in the world!

I always get teary when I vote. I have since I was 18. I never take for granted the incredible freedom I was given for simply being born here. And I get a vote in how my beautiful country is governed. I don’t always get my way but I’m still so lucky and blessed I got to vote.

I was proud to be an American through 8 years of the Obama presidency, even though I opposed many of his policies. My patriotism isn’t dependent on who’s in the Oval Office. Too bad you don’t really love your country. Feel free to live elsewhere.

This is the greatest country on earth. I’m damn proud to be an American and am humbled by the thousands of men and women that have paid the ultimate price. I will never lose my pride regardless of which party is in power.
